He is right. The text doesn't support claims that it was created in 7 days.

Is that some kind crack?

Anyway - for once I tried to pull it in, found a. that it was talk talk and I could not get sound and b. that Lewis Black - of whom I never heard, expecting some kind theologian or other science type, at least maybe a philosopher - is apparently a standup comic of sorts.

No doubt I have missed a really great and convincing argument.

That is not what he said. He said this:

1) Christians do not understand the Jewish book because they do not understand the Jewish people;
2) Jewish people are (the?) best at BS. (Note: I missed whether that "the" was in there.)

His evidence offered?

He said the NT God is a nice guy and the OT God is a prick ... but no, he just cannot BS me!

There is only one, and he knows that.

However, he might have been right when he said Bush had been given enough rope ... and had then "hung all of us" with it!
